The maths: Limble charges per user, per month. For a small team of 3 people over 3 years, you're looking at £4,860–£10,800+. PPM Maintenance Tracker is £499, once, for up to 10 users. No renewals, no seat fees.
Feature comparison: Limble vs PPM Maintenance Tracker
Limble CMMS is well-regarded for larger operations. It has a clean interface, good mobile apps, and solid reporting. But small maintenance teams end up paying enterprise prices for features they don't need. Here's how the two products stack up for a small team's core needs.

Be honest: when Limble is the better choice
If any of the following apply to you, Limble is probably the right tool despite the cost:
- You need to manage parts inventory and purchasing workflows.
- You're managing multiple facilities from one account.
- You need advanced analytics and KPI dashboards for senior management.
- Your team relies heavily on mobile apps with offline sync for field engineers.
- You need integrations with accounting, ERP, or IoT systems.
When PPM Maintenance Tracker is the better choice
- You run a single site and need solid core CMMS features without the enterprise overhead.
- Your team is small (1 to 10 people) and per-user pricing just doesn't add up.
- You work in an environment where internet connectivity is unreliable (manufacturing, remote sites).
- You want full control over your maintenance data, on your own hardware and not in a vendor's cloud.
- You need to replace a spreadsheet with something professional, quickly and cheaply.
- You've been burned by SaaS price increases before and want a fixed-cost solution.
